Private waterfront studio in Artists' home that was featured in Coast magazine!

Sunny San Leon is a peninsula that juts out into Galveston Bay. This small bayside community is located 14 miles North of Galveston Island, 10 miles South of Kemah Waterfront and 33 miles South of Houston. You will be right around the corner from Topwater Grill, known for its fresh fish and fishing tournaments, award winning restaurant Gilhooley’s, repeatedly voted “best smoked oysters in the Bay Area, and Pier 6 Seafood and Oyster House, a chef-driven waterfront seafood and oyster bar located directly on Galveston Bay. The neighborhood also features locally owned and operated Railean’s Distillery featuring tasting tours and souvineer shot glass, Sunset Lounge fishing pier, and Eagle Point Fishing Camp for fresh and frozen bait and other fishing supplies.
This one room studio has a private entrance and is on the ground level of an artist's home that was featured in Coast magazine. There is a fully equipped kitchen which includes a stove, microwave, and stainless steel refrigerator with ice-maker. The space includes a queen size bed, a sectional sofa, an original Cushman paddle-arm sofa, and a comfy mid-century modern chair paired with a genuine, previously owned Mason’s ottoman from the 1940s. Internet access and a large screen tv with Netflix, Amazon Prime, PLEX and Roku as well as a vintage formica dining room table that seats four, completes the furnishings.

A private bathroom with a hand painted ceramic sink and tiled shower is stocked with fresh towels. This studio features stained concrete floors, custom wood shutters and an individually remote controlled ac/heater unit. From every window, there is an unobstructed view of Galveston Bay. Many lounge chairs provide a perfect spot to watch the pelicans, blue herons and seagulls that live at the water's edge as working shrimp boats and various pleasure crafts dot the horizon. An outdoor gas grill, table and cushioned chairs provides a waterfront cooking and dining spot. A waterfront fire pit at the property’s edge offers a place to roast marshmallow or simply gaze at the moon and the stars as they reflect off of Galveston Bay. A street-side electric fireplace and sectional seating area provides additional seating options.
If your needs include additional space, the remaining 2nd and 3rd level of the home can be leased to accommodates another 4 adults.

Please note that the second and third level of this home are separately leased. To check availability: https://www.vrbo.com/2441551?noDates=true&unitId=3009340

Super cute studio for a couple! Very comfortable and relaxing. The only thing missing was a pier to sit on. We really enjoyed the property.

Nice place where you are far enough away from traffic yet close enough to have options. Would stay again.

Exactly as described
This was the perfect place for what we needed- a quiet getaway with amazing views, and the eclectic artistry shows you something new every time you look around the room. It was far enough away from the party beaches to be able to relax and enjoy the evenings, but close enough to go into Galveston to hit all the touristy places if you wanted to. Cathy was always communicative in a short time with any questions. The only negative I could think of (which really wasn't one) was sharing the space with the top floors- you might have to share the outdoor spaces. I guess that will depend on the people that are there at the same time. All in all, we will be back. Thanks Cathy!

Sea side rest
My stay was peaceful, restful, soothing to the soul. I loved the fire pit, the swings, the closeness to the water, the storm windows with screens that led the outdoor sounds and sights in but kept the bugs out.
